The MEA open-source intelligence market is expected to grow from Euro 273.82 million in 2021 to Euro 819.80 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 17.0% from 2021 to 2028.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa are major economies in MEA. Burgeoning adoption of OSINT for social media analytics is expected to fuel the market growth. Over a few years, social media has gained momentum across the region. More than 80% of the population has at least one social media account. Apart from using social media account for communication, individuals are using it for earning. Social media has also become a marketing platform for both individuals and businesses. Social media networks provide several options for internet investigations because a large amount of important information is available at one location. For example, any personal information can be obtained from anywhere across the region by checking a person's Facebook profile. The information gathered from social media websites is referred to as social media intelligence (SOCMINT), which is a subbranch of open-source intelligence (OSINT). Social media platforms can have both public posts and private posts. Without the creator's consent, private information—such as materials shared with friend circles—cannot be accessed. However, with the rise in the use of social media, content and data theft have also experienced a surge over the years. Therefore, the adoption of social media intelligence is increasing across businesses to protect every data published on their social media pages. Thus, the above-mentioned factors are expected to fuel the growth of the MEA open-source intelligence market in the future.
In case of COVID-19, MEA is highly affected specially Turkey and South Africa. Saudi Arabia's economy shrank by 7% in the second quarter, indicating how hard the latest coronavirus struck both the oil and non-oil industries, and unemployment reached a new high of 15.4%. The sudden spread of the pandemic resulted to a standstill in the economy and declined the technological investments of the companies across the region, thereby leaving a negative impact on the adoption of open-source intelligence solutions. As hackers take advantage of Covid-related digital adoption, the UAE's cyber leader warns that the Middle East is facing a "cyber epidemic." Cyberattacks have increased by 250% in the UAE this year, with phishing and ransomware cases becoming more common. According to Mohamed al-Kuwaiti, the head of UAE Government Cyber Security, the UAE has been the subject of "massive attacks" since establishing diplomatic ties with Israel. Owing to the rising risk of cyberattacks the UAE has established a new National Cyber Security Council, according to Al Kuwaiti, to draught policies and legislation to boost cyber security and ensure the country is not subject to assaults that may easily damage society, government, or enterprises. Thus, the above-mentioned factors expected to contribute to the high adoption of open-source intelligence, thereby positively impacting the market growth.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA open-source intelligence market. The MEA open-source intelligence market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.

Below is the breakup of our primary respondents by company, designation, and region:
Once we receive the confirmation from primary research sources or primary respondents, we finalize the base year market estimation and forecast the data as per the macroeconomic and microeconomic factors assessed during data collection.
- Data Analysis:
Once data is validated through both secondary as well as primary respondents, we finalize the market estimations by hypothesis formulation and factor analysis at regional and country level.
- 3.1 Macro-Economic Factor Analysis:
We analyse macroeconomic indicators such the gross domestic product (GDP), increase in the demand for goods and services across industries, technological advancement, regional economic growth, governmental policies, the influence of COVID-19, PEST analysis, and other aspects. This analysis aids in setting benchmarks for various nations/regions and approximating market splits. Additionally, the general trend of the aforementioned components aid in determining the market's development possibilities.

Various factors that are especially aligned to the country are taken into account to determine the market size for a certain area and country, including the presence of vendors, such as headquarters and offices, the country's GDP, demand patterns, and industry growth. To comprehend the market dynamics for the nation, a number of growth variables, inhibitors, application areas, and current market trends are researched. The aforementioned elements aid in determining the country's overall market's growth potential.
- 3.3 Company Profile:
The “Table of Contents” is formulated by listing and analyzing more than 25 - 30 companies operating in the market ecosystem across geographies. However, we profile only 10 companies as a standard practice in our syndicate reports. These 10 companies comprise leading, emerging, and regional players. Nonetheless, our analysis is not restricted to the 10 listed companies, we also analyze other companies present in the market to develop a holistic view and understand the prevailing trends. The “Company Profiles” section in the report covers key facts, business description, products & services, financial information, SWOT analysis, and key developments. The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
